Chapter 320: Betrothal Gifts
August 26, Qian Chengwang and his mother came to Lu Family Village. They arrived in Uncle Guai’s ox cart, which brought them directly to Shirley’s courtyard.
The courtyard was very tidy. Shen Meng also took a day off to stay at home and witness Shirley’s happiness together with Wang Lianhua, Xifeng, and Xie Jinghao.
Zhu Juying, wearing the dress from Lu Xiangxiang’s wedding, came forward to greet Chengwang and his mother.
Daya and Xiao Ya were also very affectionate upon seeing them, immediately calling out "Grandma," which made Old Mrs. Qian so happy that she pulled Xiao Ya close and kissed her hard twice.
Xie Jinghao took a day off from the factory, and also called Lu Jiasheng over, and several people unloaded everything from the ox cart.
Zhu Juying was busy serving water and candies, and Mingyang’s children’s pockets were stuffed full.
The cart full of good things was brought to Shirley’s house, visible to everyone in the village. Some idle elderly men and women gathered around to watch and learned that it was the county hospital’s senior doctor who had come to propose to the former Lai Zi’s wife.
The news spread through the village as if it had wings.
"My goodness, they bought so many things. Shirley has really found a good family."
"Indeed, I just saw Old Mrs. Qian bring out a gold bracelet. It looked heavy; such a valuable item, probably a family heirloom!"
